IMOS SOOP Underway Sensor Data from RV Solander, November 2022

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data was collected by the 'Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels' sub-facility aboard the RV Solander during Trip 7888 from 09 to 19 November 2022. The dataset is aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 18 April 2026. It likely contains continuous sensor measurements from a research vessel operating in Australian waters.

Use Cases

• Analyze oceanographic conditions based on underway sensor measurements mentioned in the description
• Validate satellite-derived sea surface data based on in-situ sensor readings from a research vessel
• Model temporal patterns in marine environments based on the specific 10-day collection period
• Integrate vessel-track data into larger marine observing system models based on the IMOS SOOP facility context

Strengths

• Data originates from the established IMOS Ships of Opportunity facility, a national observing system.
• Collection period is precisely defined as 09 to 19 November 2022.
• Data is managed by the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to a single vessel trip.
